De Gaulle heard this and there was no sound.

General Giro replied excitedly: "It's the United States, of course it's the United States!"

"No!" said Charles de Gaulle: "It is Britain that provides supplies and equipment for 'Fighting France'!"

"But the supply and equipment of Britain even come from the United States!" Giro retorted.

"I don't know what the meaning of saying this is!" De Gaulle said: "You have to know that these are two things. France's affairs should be decided by France, right? As for who will provide the supplies... that is the problem between France and other countries such as the United Kingdom and the United States!"

De Gaulle's statement is very clever. He attempted to put this matter on the other side, and it also implied that the United States was interfering in France's internal affairs.

"General Charles de Gaulle!" Zhang Chi replied: "If France has the ability to recover and liberate France with its own strength, then this is indeed France's business. But if France needs help from others and on the other hand, it says that it is nothing to others' business, don't you think this is ridiculous?"

De Gaulle's words are obviously a quibble. On the one hand, they have the desires and are controlled by others, and on the other hand, they emphasize autonomy... So why should others give France a large amount of supplies and military aid without any benefit?!

It’s not that Charles de Gaulle didn’t know this, but that he pretended not to know it.

"In my opinion, I cannot accept this opinion!" said Charles de Gaulle, "because this is a plan that can be at the mercy of foreign countries. General Giro, you must know that the first consul Napoleon was unanimously praised by the people in war and independence. What kind of referendum do you think can be held to agree to the contents of this plan? If a referendum is held, do you think it will be beneficial to you? Besides, Napoleon won the recognition of citizens with the attitude of a general who won many great victories for France and occupied a vast territory. Where is your victory?"

Then Charles de Gaulle said without hesitation: "Besides, you don't know that in France, public opinion attacks the Vichy government. However, your position was first obtained from Dallang, so you obtained your current status in the name of Marshal Betan. Under these conditions, do you believe that you can gain the support of most of the French people? Without the support of the people... A government, even if it does not become a target of rebellion, is just a government with a false reputation. Can you hope that such a government can lead the French people to victory and liberation?!"

It has to be admitted that Charles de Gaulle is very talented in speech. He talks endlessly and speaks righteously and sternly, and does not need to draft at all.

"General De Gaulle!" Zhang Chi interrupted De Gaulle: "I think it is meaningless to say this, because as far as I know, the United States is only willing to contact General Giro in terms of supply and aid."

De Gaulle was stunned when he heard this.

"Let me explain it more!" Zhang Chi emphasized: "Now you or General Giro have two choices..."

Zhang Chi raised his head at the plan on the table: "Either do as it is in the plan, or... France solves its own problems. If you can solve it, no one will say anything to you, otherwise... please put away your public opinion and referendum. The facts also prove that referendum and public opinion are also unreliable, because the 'Magino Line of Defense' was built with the approval of the French people, right?"

General Giro added: "As I said before, General De Gaulle, what you said is a political issue. I don't want to get involved in any political vortex. For me, I only know that we don't lack equipment and supplies. Can these 'fighting France' be given to us? No! But the United States can, we can use these equipment to defeat the Germans and liberate France. If your method is feasible... Well, General De Gaulle, I suggest you hold a referendum in France and let the French people drive the Germans out of France with the referendum!"

At this time, Zhang Chi couldn't help but praise General Jiro in his heart. This was really good.

However, De Gaulle obviously would not surrender, so the two of them started to verbally fight back and forth in the conference room.

Zhang Chi felt that it was meaningless and found an excuse to leave.

Because he realized that this was meaningless, everyone understood the truth. De Gaulle emphasized the hearts of the French people, and General Giroud emphasized the reality... It should be said that the hearts of the people and reality are very important, but at this time it is obvious that reality should stand the upper hand, because the people actually do not care whether the future government is powered by De Gaulle or Giroud. They are more concerned about driving the Germans out of French territory as soon as possible.

In this regard, De Gaulle was a bit exaggerated and used public opinion as his bargaining chip.

Colonel Webber was guarding the door and smiled heartily when he saw Zhang Chi come out, saying, "It seems that they are not very happy to talk!"

"Yes!" Zhang Chi took the cigarette handed over by Colonel Weber and said, "But I think they will come up with a plan in the end!"

In fact, Zhang Chi did not have much confidence in this, because if this continues, it is likely to be to keep it as it is, and nothing is moved... It is actually quite good to keep it as it is, so that France will have two governments.

Just outside the villa, a few gunshots suddenly came, and then the gunshots turned into a whole lot.

"What's going on?" Colonel Weber shouted at several American soldiers on the other end.

"I don't know, colonel!" replied the soldier: "Maybe it was attacked by guerrillas!"

This answer is the same as no answer.

Webber threw the cigarette butt in his hand, pushed open the door of the conference room and said to the two French generals and their entourages inside, "Gentlemen, we have been attacked by unknown armed forces. Please come with me! It is not safe here!"

The American soldiers obviously prepared places like safe houses.

Sure enough, everyone followed General Weber down the stairs and soon came to a basement... This is indeed a good place to hide. Even if the entire building is flattened with cannons, I am afraid that it will not cause any harm to those hiding in the basement.

Zhang Chi walked to the door but didn't go in.

Weber couldn't help but look at Zhang Chi in confusion and said, "General, what are you asking for?"

Zhang Chi walked back and said, "Close the door. I'm not someone who needs protection. Give me a rifle!"
